So, how does this work? You need more Red gems than Yellow gems.

Say I have 3 yellow and 3 red gem sockets and still want the socket bonuses, do I put an orange gem in one of the yellow sockets, since an orange gem counts as a red and yellow gem, or does the orange gem count as neither red nor yellow?

'Snare' effects deal with abilities like Hamstring and Wing Clip, even abilities like a mage's Ice Armor (the chill effect). 'Rooting' effects like Frost Nova and Entangling Roots are also able to be resisted.

For PvP and especially Arena matches I personally feel this is a must have for most melee classes. Couple this with the Enchant: Surefooted http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22545 and you will have an inherant 10% resist on snare/root effects. Not to mention the +12 critical and +10 hit rating!

This item does not give any +crit even though it is lit up and more red than yellow gems total.

Edit: According to my friend, GMs have said it simply does not show up in the stat sheet but it's there. but we all know how clueless GMs can be sometimes, so.. I dont know.

How long is it going to take them to fix this -_-

Comment by zuiko

Now working as intended? Can someone who has one of these verify that this actually got fixed at some point? It sure doesn't sound like it in that forum thread. Someone was still demanding a fix a couple days ago and pointed out it wasn't in the 2.1 notes.

So anyone know if this works fine now?It was bugged before, and the devs said it would be fixed in the next content patch (2.1) but still I can't see anything in the patchnotes...

If, I only have red gems and no yellow gems, will I still be able to use the meta gem? Did anyone every try it out on test server?

Comment by iiisamiii

Will this work if you have ALL red gems? Or do you need at least 1 yellow?

Comment by Senka

I would really like to know if this stacks with Surefooted enchant and/or talents that increase snare resist. (Fleet Footed for Rogues, Surefooted for Hunters, etc.)

I can only assume it does, but does anyone here know for sure?Because if so, that would be very nice. +10% from Fleet Footed, +5% from this gem, and +5% from the enchant would add up to 20% snare resist which seems very significant. Or would it be multiplied instead if it stacks? If so, what would the order of priority be? Talent>gem>enchant?

Comment by Beelame

My english sux... so please, if I have 4 red and 4 orange gems... I have 8 red / 4 yellow and Im allowed to use this meta ? :P Thanks for all answers :)

Comment by katanaless

Anyone know if this gem is gonna get some kind of nerf? I noticed that surefooted enchant is gonna give crit instead of the snare and root resist, and the general elimination of resist talents/effects overall.

Comment by bragollach

Can anyone confirm that the reduced snare/root duration stacks with Fleet Footed?
